Decoding, Reading, and Reading Disability
Philip B. Gough
Received the PhD from the University of Minnesota in 1961, is professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Texas at Austin
William E. Tunmer
Received the PhD from the University of Texas
To clarify the role of decoding in reading and reading disability, a simple model of reading is proposed, which holds that reading equals the product of decoding and comprehension. It follows that there must be three types of reading disability, resulting from an inability to decode, an inability to comprehend, or both. It is argued that the first is dyslexia, the second hyperlexia, and the third common, or garden variety, reading disability.
